SCRANTON, Pa, March 3O.-An e1-

Lewis and Owens, the miners who went
into the Vanstorch mine with Fire Boss
Lewis, but after damps prevented. This
afternoon their mutilated remains were
found and conveyed to their homes.

Still Without a Head.

CHICAGO, March 3O.-The Democratic
party of Chicago is still without a candi-
date for mayor and the leaders are again
looking to Carter Harrison, notwithstand-
ing hat he has twice declined the NOM
ination. The nominating committee of
fifty appointed by the second Democratic
convention met this evening and held two
lengthy sessions. At the first, after De-
Witt c. Cregier and John A. King, mem
befo OF the committee, had declined the
proffer of the chief place on the ticket,
Congressman Frank Lawler started a new
boom for Harrison. AS the latter was not
present and no one was authorized to
speak for him, no action was taken on
LAWYERS proposal, and John ii. McAvoy
a wealthy brewer, who was present as one
of the committee of fifty, was urged to
accept. He did not refuse outright, and
the committee took it for granted that he
would accept, Notwithstanding his pro-
testations that he did not want the office.
Recess was taken and in the meantime
McAvoy held a consultation with Mayor
Harrison. Though the latter assured
him his heartiest support, McAvoy after
much hesitation, wrote a letter of declina-
ton. giving as a reason that his business
engagements would not permit him to ac-
cept. When the letter was read to the
committee, President Kern, of the Cook
county Democracy, advocated an adjourn
ment sine die, leaving the Republican
and United Labor Party tickets the only
ones in the field. Congressman Lawler
protested vigorously and again Champion
ed Carter Harrison. Lawyer Harry Ru-
bens followed in the same vein and then
moved the appointment of a committee of
five to hunt a candidate. The motion
was carried with a whoop. Tomorrow
evening the committee will report the re-
suit of its search.

Suicide of a Distinguished Mlssou-
rfan.

ST.. LOUIS, March 30.-Hon. Thomas
G. Reynolds committed suicide at the
custom house this afternoon by plunging
down the elevator shaft. He fell a dis
lance of eighty feet and crushed in his
skull. The cause of the rash act was
mental derangment, superinduced by hal
lucinations hat he was about to become
insane. A few minutes before . o'clock
he entered the building and sauntered
into the United States court room. Sew
eral persons met him in the building and
he appeared in his usual humor. He
was seen to leave the United States mar
shal's Office, and stepping into the eleva-
tor gate, passed out of view. A few min
utes later he was brought out of the sub
basement dead. In 1860 he was elected
lieutenant governor of the state of Mis-
souri, on the same ticket with the famous
Gov. Claib Jackson and in the civil war
sided with the confederacy. At the CT Sc
of tie war he vent to Mexico and became
very intimate with Macmillan. In 1868
he returned to St. Louis. He was a
member of the commission sent to South
America about two years ago in the inter
est of commerce with the United States.
In 1854 he fought a duel with B. Gratz
Brown, with rifles at thirty PAGES, on an
island opposite this city, over a political
discussion. Mr.. Brown was hit in the
knee, but Mr.. Reynolds was not touched.
1t is believed that Mr.. Reynolds only in
tended to MAIN Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Rey-
nolds was married twice and leaves his
second wife, whom he married three years
ago.

The Result of Superstition.


MACON, Ga, March 3O.-Six out OF
eleven persons who were poisoned by the
voodoo doctor, Bonner, in Baldwin Jul
ty, are now dead and the five living will
die this week. The sixth death was that
of the father, John Harris. He openly
expressed doubt as to the power possessed
by the voodoo, whereupon the latter pro-
phesied that for this want,of faith not one
of the Harris family should live the
month out. The father alone, who had
not eaten much at the fatal meal, recov.
cred sufficiently to move, but whnn he
recovered he was a raving maniac and
had to be confined in a lunatic asylum.
He had fearful visions and would not eat
for fear of being poisoned, and soon died
in terrible contortions. The news from
the settlement is that the survivors can
not live much longer, so it is likely that
the voodoo prophesy will be fulfilled and
not one of the family will live to see the
new moon come in. As soon as the white
people learned the facts, Bonner was hid
den by the colored people and has not yet
been found.
